The issue was discussed. Unfortunately sendmail vs others is one of
those polarising issues. There really is no "right" solution, there
will always be a group of people that will be disenfranchised whatever
way this went. I suspect most people will be happy just to have a MTA
that forwards their mail, for the people that require a specific
feature set then there is always pkgsrc - if that doesn't cut it I am
sure that sendmail builds from source without any hassle.
FWIW my preference would have been to leave sendmail in the tree but
the it was decided it should go. I shall get over it - pkgsrc or hand
built will do me.
